Check out our selection of future and old classics for this week's Heavy Rotation!

→ This week! Spanish, London based vocalist, composer, songwriter and keys player Clara Serra Lopez - who we heard on the amazing "No Lo Busco" on iZem's 2023 LP - releases new beautiful single "No Es Veneno" ahead of her first EP on Real World. Berlin based, originating from Cartagena, Colombian DJ, producer, and curator Edna Martinez releases a new compilation dedicated to the Pico (hand-painted sound systems) culture of the Caribbean coast. It's not only about Colombian music but also music originating from West Africa and the Caribbean. Here's a remix by Edna herself of Guadeloupe gwo-ka artist Erick Cosaque. Brazilian duo Drumagick released an LP very much inspired by the golden era of samba-rock, samba-funk and MPB. "Eu Quero Ela" sounds very much like a Jorge Ben song! UK label Strut re-issues New York via Paris singer Beckie Bell's LP In Need Of... from 1980, which includes the infectious eponymous disco track "Music Madness". French re-issue label We Want Sounds re-issues Album No 1 from Les Abranis, a band formed by musicians in Paris from the Algerian diaspora and of kabyle origin, which includes "Avehri" is a great reggae track. Enjoy!
